A KISH original is not a traditional pet portrait, it isa unique, artistic expression of your love for your pet. When commissioning a KISH you become part of the artistic process. The artist will discuss a variety of style options with you including a head-and-shoulders study inspired by the thick brush strokes of van Gogh; a contemporary work in the splatter-style of Jackson Pollock; and the beautiful 23ktgilded works reminiscent of Gustav Klimt. Her love of artand soulful connection with Sophie, and now Penelope, inspired Gretchen to paint vibrant works of art honoringthe exceptional bond we share with our pets.
